"Staff at USC told the Echo they did not know when their store was closing down, despite huge banners outside saying all stock must go." My friend works at USC, he's known for ages the date in which they are finishing. Try harder Mr Reporter!!

Yet another bank, to go alongside yet another restaurant, yet another coffee shop, yet another poundshop! No wonder the High Street is dying!!!

I wonder what "a clutch of new jobs" will actually equate to ? HMV is only moving, so 25 jobs at metrobank minus those lost at USC, no mention of numbers...

"HMV is moving at the end of September in what will be the chain’s third High Street re-jig." Both of these statements are true. 4th location, 3rd move. What we need to see is a bit more competition. HMV currently holds the monopoly on movie/music sales in the high street (I refuse to include the likes of WHSmith's pitiful little section).

I went into a MetroBank in London... to be fair they are very different from the established High Street banks and will offer something different. And they're not going to pick up a raft of new customers WITHOUT having a branch network. Stop moaning and use your loaf... maybe even pop in and look around!

There is competition. There's an independent record shop down Queens Road. Better spent cash in an indie who can get you what you want in at a better rate than HMV as well. And has more beyond stacks of Katy Perry and One Direction!
